CHOCOLATE COVERED NOUGATS

Categories     dessert

Time 4h10m

Yield 64 squares

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3/4 cup honey
1 2/3 cups plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 large egg whites
Pinch kosher salt
3 cups toasted unsalted hazelnuts
3/4 cup toasted unsalted pistachios
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 ounces ruby cacao chocolate chips, or other flavored chocolate as desired
Sprinkles, optional

Steps:

  • Combine the cornstarch and powdered sugar in a small bowl. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper with wings coming up a few inches off the sides. Spray it with cooking spray, then dust it with half of the cornstarch mixture. Set the pan and the rest of the mixture aside.
  • Combine the honey, 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar and 1 3/4 cups water in a large saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer and stir to combine. Place over medium-high heat and cook until the mixture reaches 305 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, position a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment near the stove. Place the egg whites and salt in the bowl of the mixer.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Reduce the speed to medium and beat in the remaining tablespoon granulated sugar. (Do this while keeping an eye on the honey so you don't burn it.)
  • As soon as the honey reaches 305 degrees F, turn the mixer speed to medium-low and add it to the egg whites in a steady drizzle. Then turn the mixer to high and beat until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and spray a rubber spatula with cooking spray. Add the nuts to the mixture and fold with the sprayed spatula to combine. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Press it into an even layer, then sprinkle on the remaining cornstarch mixture and let cool, a few hours. Use the parchment wings to remove the nougat to a board. Cut the nougat into 1-inch squares.
  • Set up a sheet pan with a rack and set aside.
  • Heat the semisweet chocolate with 1/2 tablespoon oil in a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted, 1 1/2 minutes total. Repeat with the ruby chips and remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Brushing off the excess powdered sugar from the top of each, dip half of the squares in the regular chocolate and half in the ruby chocolate, spooning some over the tops so that they are completely covered. Use a fork to remove the squares from the chocolate and place on the prepared rack. Sprinkle with sprinkles, if using. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 10 minutes, or let set at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to finely chop the nuts. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the nuggets.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a knife to chop the nuts. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the nuggets tough.
  • If you want chewier nuggets, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • For a crispier nugget, bake them at a higher temperature for a shorter amount of time.
  • Store the nuggets in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Nutty Chocolate Nuggets are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand. Plus, they can be customized to your liking by adding different nuts, chocolate chips, or other mix-ins.
